It's a bitter assistant or a story that's made up. Not much substance to it either way.

Pretty much this. The report says it's a former assistant.

He always take the blame for everything in interviews, even stuff that isn't his fault. I find it hard to believe that he takes that stance right after games, faked or not, and then can't take the same stance with his teammates._________________- Best since day one -
